I don’t think Asia Grand has the best Char Siew Sou ($4), but the ones here are definitely better than average. (Which explains why they are in this list of course.) Moreover, the restaurant is located in a central location, making it the perfect place to meet up with friends to satis...

Caesar salad is an Italian salad of romaine lettuce and croutons dressed with an anchovy-olive oil dressing. One of the main reasons why I prefer home-made Caesar salad is because I always make sure that my salad dressing contains anchovies (nice and savoury), even though the addition...

I don’t know about you, but I am one of those few Singaporeans who are quite not-cool when it comes to being informed about the new hip cafes or restaurants in town. Most of the time, I’m normally the one being brought around to check out new places. And I wish to change that! Hahaha.

My memories of Chequers are both vague and vivid. It was populated, if I remember rightly, by British families in transit, either just arriving or just about to leave. There were a lot of children, and we had non-stop fun from breakfast time until dinner. We had the run of the place –...

I have been wanting to do a "What's in my Bag? " post for the longest time. But I procrastinated time and again because I am simply too lazy to lay out everything I have. So when Jacob from cooksnapeatlove.com asked me to do a guest post for him on this topic, I have no reason to proc...

The only disadvantage about this device is the time spent in doing the treatment (24 mins is quite a long time to sit there and do nothing except shining light onto your face), but if you can multi-task when doing the treatment then good for you! (Like watching the TV or something) Al...

In my recent trips, Manila restored my faith in humanity because I saw how there were still people who valued sharing; Jakarta taught me to listen to my heart once more and trust it to guide me to do what feels right for me. Now in New York, meeting up with one of my favourite girls f...

This is a review of Shu Uemura's Stage Performer - Instant-glow Immediate Radiance Skin Perfecting Cream (I shall only refer it to "Radiance Skin Cream" later on...what a mouthful of a descriptive product name!). I had purchased this back in Dec when I was in Hong Kong. And prior to t...

Know much about sake? I didn't. I always thought Sake was a tad too strong for my stomach, and that all Sake tasted similar, that they were all meant to taste harsh. Boy was I so wrong.... On the evening of my family's day 3 in Hokkaido, we were brought to this Sake brewery known as 男...

I mean to write this post earlier but got sidetracked into reading the Hunger Games trilogy last weekend. After plowing through all three books in three days, the tale has been haunting me. The writing is not the most masterful but nevertheless, it's a thrilling page-turner that gets ...

Has the govt came out with any policy recently that is tough but willingly accepted by all parties, including those that were targeted by the policy? The latest curb on property speculation is one of those rare policies that can be classified as tough and good. The affected parties, p...

The best indicator of whether more foreigners are coming is the MRT. Just take the train regularly and you can feel and sense whether there are more or less foreigners in the country. These few weeks I have noticed an exceptionally higher presence of foreigners in the train. They are ...
